In 2003, Ford crafted a special tank for the 03 and 04 Mustang Cobras. It looked ordinary on the outside but boasted one of the best internal baffling systems we've ever seen in an OE tank. In late 2011, Ford stopped making these tanks. Aeromotive saw a chance to reproduce them. We not only offer reproduction 03 - 04 Cobra tanks but also modify the tooling to fit all Fox Body Mustangs. And we took it a step further by building specific A1000 and Eliminator Fuel Pumps that directly bolt onto the top of these tanks.
These Fox Body Stealth tanks deliver top - notch performance from a seemingly stock tank. With our proven A1000 or Eliminator fuel pumps built in, you can choose either pump and install a fuel tank that looks stock but has an innovative baffling system, a built - in fuel pump to meet almost any hp demand, and a pre - pump filter.
These tanks are a direct fit for 1986 – 1998.5 Ford Mustangs. Although the Fox Body spans from 1979 to 2004, some modifications are needed for a direct bolt - in. Check the year specifications below.

Year specifications:
* For 1979 – 1985 Mustangs, use an 1986 or later leveling unit and an aftermarket fuel level gauge (73 - 10 Ohm).
* 1998.5 – 2004 Mustang Stealth Tanks are coming soon. If you have a factory 2003 or 2004 Cobra or Cobra Fuel Tank, it directly bolts into your car. The following Aeromotive Fuel Pump part numbers are only for these tanks.
(Also requires the use of 03 - 04 Cobra fuel level sending unit)Using this Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Pump with Eliminator Tank is quite straightforward. First, make sure you have all the recommended parts handy. If your Mustang is from 1979 - 1985, remember to use an 1986 or later leveling unit and an aftermarket fuel level gauge. For other years, check the year - specific requirements.
When installing, the tank directly bolts into the factory location using the factory tank straps. But it's a good idea to upgrade the wiring as recommended. The tank requires a full return style system, so ensure that's set up correctly.
As for maintenance, keep an eye on the 100 - Micron Stainless Steel Pre Filter and the 10 - Micron Post Pump Filter. Replace them when they show signs of clogging. Also, make sure the fuel level sending unit is working properly, especially if you have a 2003 - 2004 Cobra model. Regularly check the wiring for any signs of wear or damage. If you're doing an engine swap, refer to the Fuel Rail Section for your specific engine platform to ensure everything fits and works well together.
